According to google that’s the global average and yeah that tracks. I never learned how to type “proper”, I have a method where I use my thumb, pointer, and middle finger, rather than all 5 on each hand, with my pointer fingers doing most of the work.
Freeform/Hybrid: Using a mix of touch typing and visual searching. People usually develop this naturally for maximum comfort.
According to google.
I’ve always been jelly of people who can do perfect touch typing with all 10 fingers.
Around 75, but it depends. If I’m going something I’m familiar with, it can go a little higher. If I’m copying from a sheet of paper, it could be slower. Tests rarely reflect real world typing. At work I can hit 200-250 with macros. I get people watching me and they’re just like “what the actual fuck are you even doing”. Like they had no idea you could use a computer like that. I’ve had people sit there and literally tell me a program is only meant to be used this one way. And the way I do it, they say it won’t work. And then it does. One person called it voodoo.
macros is such a sick idea tbh, like bootleg stenography
What do you mean by macros? Do you have shortcuts for like specific words or phrases you use commonly or something like that?
Yes, basically. Without getting into the very specific software used, there are shortcuts within the program and whatnot that can be used to use it more fluidly and most people just type one letter at a time because that’s how they were taught, by people who learned to type on typewriters. (To be fair, while I first typed on a computer keyboard, I went through three typewriters before my first computer.)
Wow neat!
